For over thirty years, every night Fat Cat wishes the children of Perth, Australia good night, when he is put to bed invariably by his mother to the strains of a lullaby. Moments later channel seven broadcasts starts broadcasting for more mature audiences. Fat Cat has also compared various after school and Saturday morning cartoon line-ups, but his inability to speak restricts his figurehead role to picking viewer letters from a barrel Pick me Fat Cat !

The cat is actually not that fat; apparently his initials are F.A.T. (Francis Aloysius Thomas Cat). And he is rumoured to be just a heavy-set suit with an actor inside.
